Don’t use jQuery because you are afraid (or maybe bored?) to write some simple JavaScript. Don’t use a 30KB framework in place of 10 lines of JavaScript. <em>Think</em> before coding and don’t cut corners just to cut corners — a little bit more work may be a better solution.

Now, don’t take me wrong — jQuery is a great framework and I love it. But I believe it is being overused.

You wouldn’t need to optimize your jQuery code if you used the framework only where necessary, right?
